Your leaving in anger is taking my very life; it would have been far better if you had not come at all than to arrive like this.

The poet captures the agonizing heartbreak of an encounter ruined by resentment, where the beloved's angry departure feels like losing one's very soul. The long-awaited joy of their arrival turns into acute torment when they storm off in displeasure. It is a tender, wounded lament that enduring the quiet pain of absence would have been far easier than suffering a visit that only brought a harsher goodbye.
